Official site for the high/dark fantasy books of authors Barb Hendee and J. C. Hendee, including the Noble Dead Saga (a.k.a. The Noble Dead series), the Mist-Torn Witches series, the Vampire Memories series, and TNDS: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.

You can search them out there by title, author, sequence, or even “tales from (etc.),” or simply drop by NobleDead.org and select “Tales” from the site’s main menu. Select any title in the Tales page-menu to find links that take you directly to the appropriate iTunes/iBookStore product page.

Note that you must have iTunes installed if you are making a purchase via a computer instead of an iOS device. And of course all future “Tales” releases will also be available at iTunes and the iBookStore from now on.

For non-USA readers, Amazon and KoboBooks offer access and purchase from outside of the USA. For Amazon, you will need to seek the proper site by domain extension (.es, .uk, etc.); see the main Amazon.com site for assistance if you cannot find your region’s domain site. KoboBooks has affiliates in about 150 countries, though their main site (from what we understand) sells directly (with immediate access) to many countries around the world.

NOTE: At present we are not able to provide international access to “tales” via iTunes.Apple.com (iBookStore). Listing and price control there for non-USA purchases has not been adequately refined via their publishing portal to account for fluctuating currency exchange rates as is done through other portals.

It may take a little more time for our privately published titles to filter through these large vendor sites to any of their non-USA subsites, but they will. Please be patient. While you are at our site, have a look at the previous “Tales” releases in the “Homeward” and “Bones of the Earth” sequences.

Though set in the world of the Noble Dead Saga, “Tales” and their sequences do not require knowledge of the saga’s books/series. You can easily pick up and read one as your first venture in this world.

You Do NOT Need an eReader

Free Apps to purchase ebooks directly from your computer or other devices are available for multiple operating systems like Windows, OS X, Android, iOS and sometimes Linux. If you later buy a device, all of your previously purchased books from the device's vendor will load to your new device as well as still being available through your vendor-based app on your computer.

Homeward, II: The Feral Path has been uploaded to the iTunes store and should be available soon for all iOS devices. Keep in mind that any device using iOS can also load apps for our other vendors. If you used one of those on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone, you do not need to buy this title a second time. And at present, there are no apps for non-iOS devices… not even a Mac.

We hope that last part changes in the near future, as we are big advocates of people being able to purchase and read ebooks without having to buy yet another device… unless they want to. Freely testing out reading ebooks for the first time is just as important as sampling ebooks themselves.

Tales Update – Change of Schedule

J.C. has been overwhelmed with two Noble Dead books in overlapping phases, our online pursuits and problem solving, and managing the situation with vendors and their portals. He is still working on Bones of the Earth, II: Karras the Cat when spare moments allow as the sequel to BotE, I: Karras the Kitten. So the “Tales” release for September will be Homeward, V: The Reluctant Guardian by Barb.

This last tale (for now) in the Homeward sequence should be available at all of our standard vendors by next weekend after its listing is established on our own site. And yes, some new tales sequences are in the planning phase even now. Any such will likely not debut until early next year after the release of S3B2: The Dog in the Dark in the Noble Dead Saga.

HW5 will not be up at iTunes until J.C. catches up on placing previously released tales at that vendor. But, since he has completed the final version of its cover (another of his duties), here is a little peek just to tease you.

That is all for now, dear readers, but keep your eyes open for further news by this coming weekend.
